If you are an animated gif type, someone who likes to spend time on MySpace for example, then you might like to create your own animated gifs. One of the easiest applications for this purpose is the animated gif maker Mov2Gif by Dario Volaric. The very basic software program provides functions to extract frames from Apple Quicktime files to create an animated gif from the selected frames.
The animated gif maker is able to load Quicktime movies of any size. It displays the movies in its interface with the option to navigate frame by frame. The option to play the movie is missing in the application but that’s not that problematic. It is possible to draw a rectangle on the screen to pick part of the screen that should be turned into an animated gif.
The user can use a slider or the frame by frame navigation to grab frames of the movie. The process is unfortunately complicated as there is no way to grab multiple frames at once which means that it is necessary to click on the Grab button for every frame that should be added to the animated gif.
The means to pick a frame range would add much comfort to the software program. Once all frames have been selected the Save button will save the animated gif on the computer system. The top bar provides access to two options that allow to change the size of the animated gif and the display mode. The size has to be entered in pixels, for example 80×60 or 400×300.
Mov2Gif is easy to use and everyone should be able to create animated gifs with ease. It could use some comfort but this will probably only bother users who create animated gifs with it regularly.

Yet again, as usual no link to download the program. I really don’t see the point in reviewing these programs if we cannot get access to them???
Vanillaman the link to the homepage of the author is given in the article.
The plugins for virtual dub support even more file types. Here’s the portable version: http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/virtualdub_portable
